Effective July 1, 2026 · Applies to jjrhymes.com and the Mnestia kit
Mnestia is a free folder of plain-text notes. It lives entirely on your computer — I have no access to it, to your notes, or to anything on your system, ever (section A2). Nothing in it is legal, security, financial, or any other kind of professional advice; verify anything before you rely on it, and what you (and your AI agent) do with it is up to you. This site collects almost nothing: no accounts, no cookies, no analytics. That's really the whole deal — the sections below just say it more carefully.
jjrhymes.com is the personal site of JJ Rhymes ("I", "me"), an individual in Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. This page covers the website and Mnestia — the free second-brain starter kit you can download here, plus any related repositories I publish.
Mnestia is something I built for myself and decided to share. Using the site or the kit means you're good with what's on this page — it's all common-sense stuff, written down properly because that's what you do when you share things on the internet.
Worth saying before any fine print: Mnestia is a folder of Markdown files, and nothing
more. Markdown (the .md in the filenames) is plain text with a few simple
formatting symbols — # for a heading, **bold** for bold. You can open
every file in Notepad and read exactly what's in it. There is no installer, no app, no program
that runs — the only "code" in the kit is example snippets written inside the notes,
which do nothing until you (or your AI agent) choose to use them. The kit ships zero
third-party code.
That means your second brain is yours alone. It lives on your computer, in your folders. Nothing in Mnestia connects to the internet, phones home, reports usage, or syncs anything to me. I have no access to your vault, your notes, your AI conversations, or any part of your system — the kit has no way to send me anything, and I couldn't look if I wanted to. My only connection to you is this website, at the moment you download the zip. After that, it's entirely offline and entirely yours.
Mnestia is licensed to you free of charge, in the spirit of the MIT license: you may use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, and build on it, personally or commercially, without owing me anything. Make it weird, make it better, sell what you build with it — all fine. Attribution is appreciated, never required.
Just two small things the license doesn't include:
Like the MIT license, this grant comes with the warranty disclaimer and liability limits in sections A7 and A8 — they are a condition of the free license.
Think of Mnestia's reference notes as a builder friend's notebook — including the notes that summarize laws and regulations (privacy, children's-data, email, telemarketing, copyright, tax, business formation), security practices, and payments, business, and marketing. I wrote them because they helped me; they're general information and personal opinion, not a professional's counsel for your situation. Concretely:
Where kit notes cite specific statutes, agencies, dollar amounts, or deadlines, treat them as a starting point for your own verification against primary sources, never as the final word.
Mnestia is designed to be read and acted on by AI coding agents. It contains example code, shell commands, configuration, hooks, and step-by-step instructions that an agent (or you) may execute on your machine. That is powerful and inherently risky:
The only real rule: don't use this site or Mnestia to break the law or hurt people. That means don't use them to:
I hope this section never matters for you — it exists so the rare bad actor can't ruin a good thing. (If someone abuses it, I can block access to the site and downloads.)
This is the paragraph every free project has to say, so here it is in one breath: the site and Mnestia are provided "as is" and "as available", with all faults and without warranty of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I disclaim all warranties, express or implied — merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage — and I don't promise the site or kit will be uninterrupted, error-free, current, or free of harmful components.
In practice: I take real care with what I publish, but do what you'd do with anything from the internet — scan it, read it, verify it. You use everything at your own risk.
The plain version: this is a free folder of notes, so please treat it that way if something goes sideways. The formal version, which the free license depends on: to the fullest extent permitted by law, I will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, business interruption, security incidents, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or related to the site or the kit — whatever the legal theory, and even if I've been told such damages are possible. My total aggregate liability for all claims is capped at the amount you paid me for the site and the kit (which is zero) or US $10, whichever is greater.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limits; where that's you, these sections apply to the maximum extent your law allows, and nothing here limits liability that legally cannot be limited (like fraud, or gross negligence where non-waivable).
Whatever you build with Mnestia is yours — the credit, the upside, and the responsibilities. So if a third party brings a claim about your product, your data handling, your outreach, or your compliance, that's between you and them: you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold me harmless from claims, damages, and reasonable costs (including attorney's fees) arising from your use or misuse of the site or the kit, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right. (In short: I gave you notes; what you did with them is your story.)
The "buy me a coffee" button is a voluntary tip, processed by Buy Me a Coffee under their own terms and privacy policy. A tip is a gift: it is not a purchase, buys no goods, services, support, warranty, or influence, and is non-refundable (refund questions go to the payment platform). Mnestia is identical whether you tip or not.
Mnestia and this site mention third-party products and services — for example Anthropic and Claude, Obsidian, Cursor, Zed, GitHub, Google, Stripe, Twilio, and Buy Me a Coffee. I am not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any of them. All trademarks and product names belong to their respective owners and are used only to refer to those products. Links to external sites are provided for convenience; I don't control them and I'm not responsible for their content, terms, or privacy practices.
Site content is © JJ Rhymes except where credited otherwise; Mnestia is licensed per section A3. The kit credits its community sources — if you believe something here infringes your copyright or other rights, email booking@jjrhymes.com with the specific material, where it appears, and proof of your rights, and I will review and act promptly, including removal where warranted.
I may change, replace, or discontinue the site, the kit, or any version of it at any time, without notice — including removing old releases. I may update these terms; changes are posted on this page with a new effective date, and your continued use after that is acceptance. Materially significant changes get a visible note on the download pages.
This site and Mnestia are developer tooling for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. I don't knowingly collect personal information from children — and as the privacy section explains, I barely collect any personal information at all.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to venue there — though if something's wrong I'd rather you just email me first. If any part of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. These terms are the entire agreement between us about the site and the kit.
No accounts. No cookies. No analytics or tracking scripts. No ads. No fingerprinting. I do not sell, rent, share, or trade anyone's personal information — there's essentially nothing to sell. Information would only ever be disclosed if the law genuinely required it.
And the Mnestia kit itself collects nothing at all. Once downloaded it's offline text files on your machine (section A2) — it has no telemetry, no phone-home, and no connection back to me or this site of any kind.
Do Not Track: this site doesn't track visitors in the first place, so it behaves the same whether or not your browser sends a DNT or similar signal.
The music/code view toggle stores your choice in your browser's
sessionStorage (a key named jjr-mode) so the site keeps your chosen look while
you browse. That value never leaves your device, isn't a cookie, and clears itself when the
tab closes.
Since there are no accounts and no stored profiles, the only personal information I could ever hold about you is an email you chose to send me — your Mnestia vault, notes, and anything on your computer are yours alone and completely invisible to me (section A2). If you have emailed me and want it corrected or deleted, write to booking@jjrhymes.com and I'll review, answer, and delete what you ask, where the law doesn't require keeping it. I aim to answer within 45 days.
If what the site collects ever changes (say, a real booking form someday), this page changes first, with a new effective date at the top — check the date to see when it was last revised. This policy took effect and was last updated on July 1, 2026.
Questions about any of this — terms, privacy, takedowns, or the kit itself: booking@jjrhymes.com.
